How did Nick Goepper win over Henrick in X Slope? his rail section was sloppy , his jump tricks were good but henrick did a fucking nose butter 450 on pretzel 450 out ..and an epic nose butter double 12 blunt... and all sorts of other stuff..
maybe it was the right side stuff Nick did.. but still whack.. I hate the guys style he skis like an aerialist that grabs his skis.. Xgames judges suck balls..

This is making me laugh, you are all here discussing if Henrik' run was better or not than Nicks, when in the mean time Henrik has his huge smile on his face and is probably more than stoked on placing second.

And seriously almost everyone in the finals deserved to be on the podium, they all had crazily awesome runs and I would hate to be a judge.

For me personally they all won and I found if pretty amazing watching all of there 3 runs live !!! I actually don't care who wins and I'm stoked for the ones that did !!!!

You are an idiot. anything and everything has style. that is why slopeSTYLE is not slopeGANGSTERSTYLE. because it has different STYLES. your not smart.

I would love to enter this beaten to death argument about competition scoring, but I didn't watch the X-Games Slope Finals because I was too busy skiing.

Nick had more variation in tricks from left side, to right side.
Quit acting like you know what your talking about because Nick is a way better skier and I'd love to see you do anything he tried or any other skier in the x games. Who cares, its over. Quit complaining.

hate to be that guy but judging on your edits..you're more of a rail skier..not a very strong jumper where i could see why you would favor henrik for his butters and rails ...but to say goepper had ONE jump banger is absurd!

goepper went unnat dub 10 lead blunt, to natural dub 12 opp blunt, to sw unnaty dub 10 jap, to natural sw dub misty 12 high mute...

Mind you both blunts were capped as FUCK...half the people on this site can't consistently cap blunt in 3s and 5s yet goeppers doing it in both way dubs...to me both of those are bangers..sw unnatty dub 10..ever try spinning sw unnatty..it's not the easiest thing to learn..and then tops it off with a switch dub misty 12 that goes 90-100 feet...Personally I don't see how these aren't banger tricks..please explain to me which one was the banger and why it was only one

and rail landings were pretty on point...which xgames did you watch?

2on early pretz 2

handrag 180

sw 2 blind 2

kfed

vs

cleaner sw 2 blind 2 stomped

cleaner hand drag 180

sw on front 4 stomped

front 3 front 2

I'd say woodsy had the advantage on the rails....

and his jumps were banger too

Haha you said fakie! I just kind of died a little if I wasn't on moble I would put the tanner hall this ain't rollerblading. Anyway on the topic goepper killed it and has my respect alight I don't exactly like watching his skiing. Henrick is the best in the game and has Dat mad style! What ever in the end it really doesn't matter

Im complaining about the judging simple slopestyle judges should take style and use of course into account way more often then they currently do.. And I do know what im talking about.

ya'll seem to forget T-hall used to do the same sorta thing. Sw 7 rodeo wins comps? well heck, just throw sw 7 rodeos then. It was pathetic goepper threw the same run 3x..........but if it wins.....it wins. welcome to being a comp whore. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. same goes for the whole womens skiing scene, why "push the limits" if you have a run that can win. This is why henrik is the man. stepping up when it was not necessary.

I called him an idiot for saying "Harlaut just smokes weed with his pants around his knees." He is obviously much more than that.
